The platform we'll use

Your website will be built using Squarespace, a powerful website builder, blogging platform and hosting service, which is:

Flexible

Squarespace gives your website all the functionality it needs with a huge range of inbuilt modules, including calendars, video blocks, galleries, social media links, contact forms and maps.

Responsive

Squarespace has responsive templates that display perfectly on mobiles, tablets and desktops. So your website will always look it's best, no matter what device it's being viewed on.

Simple

It's easy to maintain your Squarespace site after it's built. Need a new page? No problem. Managing your website is as easy as dropping in moving around your content and images.

Secure

Squarespace is a fully-managed platform. This means that you never have to worry about updating your template or modules - and you don't have to worry about security issues.

The Day Hatch build process

1. Preparation

Before your build begins, I'll send you a document that you will need to complete with the following details:

Your competition

Your target market

Your business goals

Sites you like

Completed copy

Logo and image files

Domain name and hosting details

Using this information, I'll work with you to create a brief that outlines how you want your site to look, what pages it will have and what keywords you want to target. I will then suggest a suitable Squarespace template and you can spend some time checking out its features.

2. Web-build session

This is where the fun begins! I will come to your workplace (or we can video conference on Google Hangouts) and our day will proceed as follows:

9am to 12pm - Review brief and begin website development

12pm to 1pm - Lunch break

1pm to 5pm - Continue web development

5pm to 6pm - Final walkthrough and Squarespace training

If we finish early, we can use the remaining time to make additional tweaks to your new site. However, any changes requested after your development day will be at my standard rate of $150 per hour.

3. Launch and celebrate!

At 6pm we will send your new website live! Time to relax, pop open a bottle of champagne and show off your beautiful new website to the world.

To make sure your website looks great on all devices, I’ll also spend some time adding code that makes sure it displays perfectly on mobiles and tablets.

And in case there are any bugs, I'll provide you with 14 days of support for your new website.

Yes

Day Hatch might be for you if you:

✓ Need a website quickly

No

So, how much does all this cost?

Not that much, actually! Unlike standard web-build projects (which can often cost too much for businesses on a budget), Day Hatch gives you a stunning, powerful, secure and easy-to-use website for the fixed price of:

$1900
